I also hail from the Los Angeles area.

If hailed destroyed the crop in the fields, we never asked for a handout from the taxpayers.

I think it's just living in the midwest, tornadoes, hail etc.

It's all about trying to generate income for bankrupt cities/counties, and them figuring out a way to use private property owners homes as collateral on loans (in my opinion) because the cities/counties have -0- credit, and are making a hail mary pass to try to get their hands on money, someplace!

Exactly the conflict that I saw John and after digging a little deeper, it appears that Investor Champ hails from a little different area than I.

They will also pay for a new roof it you get hail damage for instance.

I had some gutters damaged by a hail storm last year, the insurancae company paid about $4.50 a linear foot, prices I heard ran from $4.50 to around $6.50 a linear foot, according to the contractor and the type of gutter used (this is in Dallas)

I'm going to go back to your question about the roof,,,if my inspector says a roof is in good shape, no signs of leaking, being 18 years old doesn't bother me at all, I replaced the roof on my residence last year (because of hail storm, insurance paid for it), it was the original roof from 1986, no repairs ever done, now I have walked away from a deal in part because of roof condition, but not age

To get the Duplex ready for tenants i would need:One Furncace ~1200Two AC compressors ~3000Carpet and Paint ~5000Some Pluming ~750Couple of windows ~600Total =~ $11500Can wait:Roof and Siding (no leaks but hail damage) ~$10000Update:I submitted my offer today...Lets see what they come back with.
